Hi, I am JoAnn Hines the Packaging Diva.

You might wonder why I am considered a DIVA but I can assure you that its really true.  For a start I have been invited to speak on packaging issues around the world (including the White House twice) and showcased on NBC to discuss Packaging "Wrap Rage" and my columns about packaging are syndicated around the globe.

As you can see here I'm very busy solving client problems 

But enough about me. I'm sure you are here because you have packaging problems to solve or you simply are overwhelmed by the world of packaging and don't know where to begin.

I can help you fix your packaging WOES.

Each week I solve dozens of packaging problems whether it's how to get started packaging your product or to understand the latest packaging technology and packaging innovations this is the place to be.

Most importantly I can help you integrate your product packaging into your brand, teach you how to make your product packaging to sell or simply get you on the right track with the right packaging message for your target audience.

Sounds simple right?

But what about some of the packaging pitfalls: environmental issues, legislation, counterfeiting and product packaging security?  As one of my readers or clients I will keep you advised. Each week I write on a timely packaging topic relevant to you and your business; send special alerts about hot button issues and provide insights on what's new and exciting in the world of consumer product packaging and branding.

Best of all I do this for free because I love packaging, I want your product to succeed and it's critical to get your product packaging right the first time because you may not get a second chance.

Diva on Board

"I need more publicity for my packaging products and services."

I hear this from everyone - individuals and inventors, small businesses, nonprofit foundations - even large businesses. Whether you're working your own guerilla publicity campaign or paying out hefty sums of your PR budget, you're not getting as much media attention as you'd like. As a matter of fact, even the PR agencies aren't getting as much media attention as they'd like!

I think I've found a solution for many of you... Diva on Board

Here's how it works:

This program, aptly titled Diva on Board, is designed for business owners and executives who wish they had someone to talk with and to advise them about maximizing the company's exposure through appropriate media opportunities.

Now you can include the Packaging Diva as an adjunct for your organization ... and for a very reasonable investment. The Diva has 30+ years of branding experience and can become your ongoing resource for information and advice on all aspects of PR for your business.

It's a retainer program where I watch for opportunities to promote your company and its services. I will help you craft the correct spin to get the most mileage from every opportunity. You can also use me to help you assess other promotional opportunities such as whether to exhibit at a trade show and which trade shows will give you the most return on your investment. It's like having a customized marketing director just for your business!

The difference between traditional PR that doesn't always work and Diva on Board is me. The Packaging Diva is a brand name that is recognized around the world. That's because my success has been built on researching trends and innovations that affect the packaging industry and sharing that knowledge with my clients to help you recognize how your business can be impacted.

I'm able to offer this unique opportunity to a few select clients in 2007. Sign up today for 3 months of the Diva On Board and see the effects that good media coverage will bring for your business.

The fee is $1,000 per month and is payable at the beginning of each month. Diva on Board will begin accepting memberships from everyone on January 1, but we're letting the Diva's readers sign up now because we want to be sure you get a space. Enrollment is extremely limited, so sign up quickly to guarantee your place.
